While this may sound familiar to a whole host of other similarly premised stories you’ve seen before, it quickly makes clear that it is both a great deal darker and more creative in its execution. It is all built around a survival game where a group of unsuspecting adults are given an invitation to compete in a variety of children's games for cash. The hit series that inspired a million memes and an explosion of costumes, Squid Gameis more than just a pop culture craze - it is a sharply written exploration of class inequality that cuts deep.

Brynna ArensĬast: Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Wi Ha-Joon Like Joe, You gets more and more unhinged as the series progresses – the deaths get bloodier, the coverups get complicated, and the breakups become deadly. Badgley brings a charm to the character that makes him attractive and likable despite everything we watch him do. Through voiceover narration, we get to hear Joe’s thoughts and how he rationalizes his actions. As much as you don’t want to root for someone with such questionable moral standards, the series makes it hard not to hope that things work out for Joe. He’s willing to stalk, kidnap, and murder to get them to fall for him.

Joe goes to great (creepy) lengths to prove his love to the women who catch his eye throughout the series. Told from the perspective of self-proclaimed romantic Joe Goldberg ( Penn Badgley), Youfollows his quest to find the perfect girl. Cast: Penn Badgley, Elizabeth Lail, Victoria Pedretti, Shay Mitchell, Dylan Arnold, Scott Speedman, Jenna Ortega, Tati Gabrielle, Ambyr Childers, Nicole Kang, Kathryn Gallagher
